This patch steal system RAM and use that to emulate pmem device using the
e820 platform driver.
This adds a new kernel command line 'pmemmap' which takes the format <size[KMG]>
to allocate memory early in the boot. This memory is later registered as
persistent memory range.
Based on original patch from Oliver OHalloran <olive...@au1.ibm.com>
